33 West finds humor in music

By Lisa Leone · Thursday, April 15, 2004

FAIRFAX, Va. - The sound of drums and guitar music seeps out the windows of a quaint house in a residential neighborhood of Northern Virginia. A woman, walking her dog along the street, doesn't seem to notice the noise or all the cars parked out front. In the basement bedroom, which doubles as a rehearsal room, rock band 33 West is practicing for an upcoming show.

THE PUNISHER / ***

Thursday, April 15, 2004

If all movies were graded on the basis of intention, "The Punisher" would get an A. If movies were judged on the basis of their peers ("Hellboy" being the closest example), "Punisher" would score big. If this movie stood alongside the 1989 Dolph Lundgren version of the same name, again, there would be no contest. The bottom line though, is that "The Punisher" is not a quality movie.

Punk artist chastises music industry

By Costa Caloudas | April 15

The prestigious and now legendary history of the D.C. punk movement has been completely neglected as of late. Instead of hearty doses of Bad Brains, Minor Threat, Rites of Spring, Embrace and Fugazi, students opt instead for the watered-down emo-punk that is spoon-fed to them from the Warped Tour and Hot Topic.

From Dresden, with love

April 15

In the past three months, the Dresden Dolls have gone from a do-it-yourself Boston band to one of the most desired duos you have yet to hear. Sounds impossible, but in this musical environment in which (1) MTV and radio have both sold their souls to Satan and (2) Mainstream artists do not actually exist, such deviations from the norm are frustratingly rare.

Do revenge films relieve stress?

April 15

As the semester winds down, AU students are facing finals and are possibly at odds with their roommates. On top of that, today is Tax Day, a stressful time in many Americans' lives. It seems an appropriate time for The Bride to complete her "roaring rampage of revenge" and the Punisher to seek his own brand of vengeance.
